Moth seems to look quite similar to photo from life of one Philobota species, P. bathrophaea although there are not many examples of that species online to compare it with, see here: https://biocache.ala.org.au/occurrences/1078d2ab-934a-4ea2-93e8-ca59222a4499 and there seems to be no records of this species further south than about Sydney.
